Find your snowboard stance with StanceFind™

RICK MACDONNELL, SnowSeekers Inc.

Nine days ago, the SnowSeekers crew was at Marmot Basin shooting video and writing editorials, which you can find here. While we were there we ran into a fantastic fellow by the name of Sean MacCarron, who not only pioneered the non-profit Free Mountain program at Marmot Basin, but has also invented the world's first dynamic snowboarder's stance calibration device.

Dubbed StanceFind™, the device allows a boarder to determine – scientifically – his/her optimal stance given his/her skeletal structure. And it takes less than 15 minutes.

StanceFind™ has been endorsed by BASI and installed by TSA, Europe's largest independent snowboard retailer, in its stores across the UK. More recently, StanceFind™ has been adopted by two resorts a little closer to home: Big White Ski Resort in British Columbia, and Marmot Basin in Alberta.

If you'd like to find out more about the StanceFind™, as well as cre8iv-uk, the team responsible for it, headover to www.cre8iv-uk.com

Until then, though, check out these demo videos to get a better idea of what StanceFind™ is all about.
